Royal expert Kinsey Schofield has accused Meghan Markle of trying to "hijack" Princess Diana's legacy by launching a wine brand on the late Princess of Wales's birthday. She told The Sun the timing had "struck a very specific nerve" inside the Royal Family, especially with Prince William.

Ms Schofield said: "Timing an alcohol launch to Diana's birthday wasn't just a misstep, it was borderline cruel." She added: "To claim ignorance here doesn't hold up-it wasn't just insensitive. It felt like a betrayal of the very narrative she's working so hard to craft."

The rose, priced at $30 a bottle, sold out within an hour of going live on Meghan's website.
